Scouting for those aged 14-18 is provided by the District in 3 Explorer Scout Units, based at Muirtown, Midmills (Phoenix) and Croy.

District Explorer Scout Commissioner - Graham Eden

Explorer Scouts are young people, usually aged between 14 and 18 years old. They make up the fourth Section of the Scouting family. There are many types of Explorer Scout Units, some may be linked to your local Scout Group.

As an Explorer Scout, you will get the chance to work with other Explorer Scouts in your District, not just your Unit. By doing this, you will get the chance to do many more activities, not just the ones your Unit organises.

Explorer Scouts also have the opportunity to work in younger sections as members of the Young Leader Scheme.

District Scout Network Leader - Jamie Gordon

The Scout Network is the Section for 18 to 25 year olds who wish to carry on their personal development through Scouting. There are many different activities and Awards available for Scout Network Members to participate in.

Network is flexible, and once you are a member of one Network, you are automatically a member of all Networks across the UK! If you’re already a Leader, or Fellowship member then you can still be an active member of Network. If your time only allows you the opportunity to take part in Network activities once a month, then that's fine. Likewise, if you go away to university, through your local Network you can contact your nearest Network to Uni and continue your Networking whilst you're there.
